If you can detoxify your liver, in most cases you
will improve your health drastically, and you can save your life if you are
very ill.This is a wonderful
principle to recall at all times.Nutritional balancing is one of the finest ways to do this, bar
none.This article focuses on how
this is done using nutritional balancing science.

1. BALANCE THE MAJOR MINERAL LEVELS AND RATIOS ON A
PROPERLY PERFORMED HAIR TISSUE MINERAL ANALYSIS. This critical step
is needed to drastically improve the cellular energy production throughout the
body.This, in turn, assists with
liver detoxification along with most other body functions.

2. INGEST MORE SULFUR.The mineral sulfur is needed for the
cytochrome P450 detoxification pathways in the liver, and to bind toxic metals,
and for other purposes in the liver as well.Most people do not get enough organically bound sulfur in
their diets.Therefore, method
number one is to increase you intake of sulfur of the correct type.

Two types of sulfur are needed.Non protein-bound sulfur is found in
most cooked vegetables.The
cabbage family (cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower) is
particularly good.The radish
family is also excellent (red radishes, black radishes, white radishes or
daikon root, turnip, rutabaga and perhaps a few others).Also, some greens are high in sulfur
including watercress, bok choy, Chinese cabbage, kale, mustard greens, collard
greens and perhaps a few others, though not spinach.Onions and garlic are also excellent.

Protein-bound sulfur is found in
meats and egg yolks, providing one does not cook the egg yolk very much.This is why we recommend soft cooked
eggs only so the yolks are runny.Raw eggs may be consumed, but they contain avidin, a minor toxin, and
sometimes the eggs contain bacteria that are harmful.Therefore, we suggest soft-boiled eggs cooked for up to
about 3 minutes in most areas of the world, or poached eggs or even very
lightly fried eggs or very soft scrambled eggs only.Avoid hard-boiled eggs and hard scrambled eggs, as these are
much more difficult to digest and the cooking damages the fat and sulfur
compounds in the delicate yolk.

3. INGEST MORE OF THE RIGHT TYPE OF SELENIUM.
This is also critical for glutathione synthesis in the liver and breakdown of
certain toxic compounds in the liver.The correct form of selenium is important.It is found in blue
corn, organic yellow corn, but not other corn products.It is also found in sardines and in some meats and other
fish.Most fish, however, are too
high in mercury to be recommended, so sardines and other very small fish like
smelt, anchovies and herring only are best.Of these, the sardine seems to be best.

Other good sources of selenium include chicken meat, breast especially but all
of it, turkey meat, mustard of all types, and a few herbs
such as curry powder, milk thistle
and turmeric.This contains curcumin, a powerful
anti-oxidant for the liver. Do not
waste money or fill up on selenium supplements or Brazil nuts, as the type of
selenium is not as good as the foods above.Save your stomach capacity for the cooked vegetables
described above and the foods that contain the proper selenium.Read more about this in the article Selenium on this website.

4. OBTAIN MORE METHYL DONORS. Some people, but
not all, need more methyl groups or more methyl attachment agents. Without
them, they could die.This is a
particularly important topic for all cancer patients, almost all of whom need
more methyl groups.This is such
an important topic that it is discussed in a separate article entitled Methylation on this website.

5. IMPROVE CIRCULATION, HYDRATION AND OXYGENATION OF THE
BODY.These functions
are related, and all absolutely needed for liver detoxification.Be sure you breathe deeply at all
times, drink 3 quarts and no less daily of spring water or carbon-only filtered
water, and to improve circulation some exercise is excellent, and even better
is the use of a near infrared sauna on a daily basis.Any sauna will help circulation, however.An ozonator/ionizer air purifier placed
in the bedroom will increase the oxygen in your home as well.For more on this topic, read Ozonator/Ionizer Air
Purifiers.

A secondary method is the use of castor oil
packs.These are not as powerful
as some of the other procedures in this article, but they might help.This use of castor oil is an old folk
remedy that was promoted by the American psychic, Edgar Cayce.They are simple to do and they will
improve circulation and lymph drainage through the liver.Read Detoxification Protocols
for instructions how to do them.

6. DO MORE COFFEE ENEMAS.Coffee is a somewhat toxic
beverage.However, when introduced
through the rectum, the colon seems to filter out many of the toxins, and just allows
the nutrients in the coffee to be absorbed.This we know because coffee drinkers become toxic, but those
who do coffee enemas, even daily for years, do not become toxic to any
appreciable extent.

The colon is actually a remarkable organ that can
prevent horrendous toxins that are produced in the intestines from entering the
bloodstream, while absorbing water and nutrients from food.So we can use the colon for this
purpose.When done this way, the
coffee retention enema is one of the most powerful liver detoxification methods
of them all.One or even up to
three of them daily will move out even the most stubborn of toxins from the
liver in a rather painless and inexpensive way.See the article entitled Coffee
Enemas for instructions.

7. SIT OR LIE UNDER A RED HEAT LAMP DAILY FOR AT LEAST
ONE HOUR. I am not sure
why this works, but the frequencies emitted by a standard 250-watt reddish heat
lamp are excellent for the liver.They tend to improve circulation, decongest the liver, assist with lymph
drainage, and more.

Near
infrared lamp sauna therapy.The best way to do this is by using a near infrared lamp sauna
daily.This way you will also get
the benefits of the heat, sweating, etc.However, if you cannot afford to build a near infrared lamp sauna, then
use a single heat lamp aimed at your belly and your back for an hour
daily.The heat lamp bulb is sold
at most hardware outlets for about $10-15.00 dollars.It must be reddish, not clear.

Combining a
coffee retention enema with a red heat lamp on the abdomen is particularly
powerful.

8. RUB THE FEET MORE.Foot reflexology is quite amazing, and
can be quite beneficial for liver activity.There are three main reflex areas on the feet and hands for
the liver.One is on the bottom of
the feet, behind the third and fourth toes in the soft part of the bottom of
the feet, near the ball of the foot.Another is on the top of the foot, in the web between the big toe and
the second toe.This area is often
extremely painful to rub.A third
area is behind the little toe alone the side of the foot.It is related more to the shoulder, but
this is often an area where liver meridian energy is stuck.

9. EXERCISE CARE WITH ALL OF YOUR RELATIONSHIPS AND
EMOTIONS. The liver is associated with the emotions, especially
anger and fear.If you are
spending time in anger or fear, you will damage your liver.If you let these emotions go, through
forgiveness, in particular, your liver will heal much faster.This is a secret for detoxifying the
liver that most doctor forget.Never hold anger or grudges or resentments against anyone for any
reason.Do not let people or
situations “get to your liver”.The word livid, and the
phrases: I gave him a piece of my liver
and He has a lot of gall are common
linguistic references to the close connection between the liver and the
emotions, particularly anger and rage.

10. DRINK CARROT JUICE DAILY.Carrot juice has an affinity for the
liver, for some reason that I do not know.Dr. Max Gerson, MD. used it extensively to rebuild the
liver.He wrote about it in his
book, A Cancer Therapy – Results of 50 Cases.It may be the calcium in it, or perhaps
something else.

Caution:Do not to overdo on carrot juice, and do not do a lot of juices of any
kind.I know that juices are
highly recommended by some health authorities.The problem is they are too yin in Chinese medical
terminology.Ten-twelve ounces
daily of carrot juice with a few greens added if you wish, is plenty for most
people.Cancer patients may need a
little more, up to 16 or even 20 ounces daily, but no more.Dr. Gerson used much more, but his
therapy is not working as well today.Perhaps it is too yin due to all the carrot juice and other juices.See below to understand yin.

11. MAKE YOUR BODY MORE YANG.This is very critical.The liver is what is called a solid or
yin organ in Chinese medicine.When it becomes too yang, in Chinese medicine, it causes problems.Today, however, all the organs tend to
be too yin, including the liver.This basically means it is very congested and toxic with metals and
toxic chemicals.This is far worse
than it ever was when Chinese medicine was set up thousands of years ago.In those times, humans were not plagued
with radiation poisoning, toxic chemicals and poor quality food.These are all modern yin problems.

Making the body more yang, along with coffee
enemas, supplements, red heat lamp therapy and sauna therapy, all help rid the
liver of infections, which often plague it.Most people, for example, have some liver flukes and other
parasites that make their home in the liver.However, do not take herbs or drugs to get rid of them, as
most of these are toxic and harm the liver.Instead, making the body more yang and a complete nutritional
balancing program will slowly rid the liver of all of its infections and this
includes parasitic infections.For
much more on this topic read Yin Disease and Yin And Yang Healing.

12. OTHER FOODS, HERBS AND SUPPLEMENTS FOR THE LIVER.Food include eating some liver, but not
too much as it is toxic today.In
fact, some raw liver is not bad for the liver, but try to buy organic chicken
or beef liver, and make sure the animals were healthy.Do this about once a week, perhaps, but
not more.A few bites is all you
need.

Burdock root, dandelion root, and milk thistle are
old-fashioned herbs that can help the liver.However, do not use them continuously, as they are all somewhat
toxic.Rotate them and take time
off from them.

Supplements the liver needs include a little
vitamins A, B, C, D and E, in particular, though all are good in small
quantity.Large quantities are
toxic, however.See below for more
this.Minerals have been discussed
above, but also include some zinc, chromium, manganese and others.

13. IMPROVE THE DIGESTION.The reason for this is that if you do
not, then you will generate extremely toxic compounds in the intestines during
fermentation and putrefaction of your food.These pass easily into the liver where they poison the
liver.This is the case with
everyone today, to some degree.

Ways to improve digestion include eating a far
better quality diet-without wheat, fruit, fruit juices or any sugars or chemicalized
foods.Also, always take a
powerful digestive enzyme with each meal, develop good eating habits such as
chewing thoroughly and eating quiet, sit-down meals, not in your car while
driving, or sitting at your desk on the telephone.Also, simple food combinations are best, and the very best
is to eat only one or two types of food at a single meal.Eat five or six smaller meals if you
need to, in order to get all that you need to eat.

14. AVOID THAT WHICH HARMS THE LIVER.This may be one of the most important
of all the steps you can take.It
means avoiding:

- All medical drugs, all
over-the-counter drugs and remedies, all recreational drugs, and especially
alcohol in all forms and all types.

- All toxin exposure from the
food, water, air and skin contact.This includes all food additives and preservatives, dental amalgams,
handling solvents, breathing fumes of all kinds, pesticides, and dozens of
other chemicals.It also means
reducing your exposure to toxic metals of all kinds in food, water and through
contact such as amalgam dental fillings, jewelry and occupational
exposure.See the article Toxic Metals for more on how to avoid these
powerful poisons.

- Overdosing on herbs, vitamins
and minerals.The worst are niacin
and iron, both of which are added to all white flour products today.Many so-called health products also
contain toxic metals, such as zeolite, azomite, montmorrilinite, fulvic acid,
humic acid and most colloidal mineral products from the earth.

- Avoid other toxins. These are
found in all large fish, all seaweeds except some kelp, pork and all pig
products, all nightshade vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant and all
peppers), and certain other foods.Unclean food, unwashed raw food and other often contains eggs and larva
of parasites, which go to the liver in most cases.Avoid fermented foods that produce aldehydes.These include kombucha tea and most
other fermented foods except for yogurt and kefir.

- Copper builds up in the liver
and is found in copper intra-uterine devices, foods too high in copper
(chocolate, avocado, shellfish, nuts and seeds, and even some organ meats).

- Iron builds up in the liver
and is found in most refined white flour products, eating too much red meat
(twice a week is fine for most people unless you have cancer, and then do
less), iron pills and potions, eating a lot of black or red cherries, molasses
and even eating more than about one dozen eggs weekly.

- Avoid all yin foods,
supplements, herbs, and other products.This is quite difficult because all fruit is very yin, all sugars are
yin, drugs and alcohol are very yin, raw foods are more yin, and most
supplements and herbs are quite yin.This is one of the main reasons I limit or eliminate all of these in
nutritional balancing science programs.

By doing these things, all of which are part of
every nutritional balancing program, you can often quite rapidly, improve the
quality of your liver and your health.More about the liver and its problems is found in the article entitled Liver Dysfunctions.
